Omineca Ski Club welcomed 70 athletes from across the province for a weekend of biathlon competition on Feb. 17 and 18 when they hosted BC Cup #3.

The sport of fat biking

亚洲天堂 Lake residents Gunter Hoehne Wren Gilgan, Aidan Carroll and Lyle Phillips enjoyed a day of fat biking on Francois Lake. A fat bike is an off-road bicycle with oversized tires. It is designed for low ground pressure to allow riding on soft unstable terrain such as snow. Remember you must have at least two inches of ice to walk or go skating on or in this case fat biking. You need over four inches of ice to go snowmobiling or to have groups of people ice fishing in one spot.
